Default parts

hi

Alex

hey, that looks like a good project- I wonder who did that to it, looks like a gypsy wagon . You should see the CS8 wrecks I have here .

Parts are very difficult to find

The brake wheel cylinders, get them sleeved . New brake hoses are available from the chap in Argentina on ebay , very cheap .

Is the chassis Ok, they are prone to rusting as I have one that makes a good swiss cheese look alike .

Gaskets for the engine , you only need the head gasket, make the others .

Cox and Turner in the Uk have new CS8 engine valves , they have lots of series 1 Land Rover engine parts as well .

Rory has piston sets . Dodge 3 1/4" rings will fit the Morris pistons and are easy to find .

The chassis number is stamped on the rear LH spring hanger , the numbers ended at around 21, 000 in late 1941 or early 1942 when production ended.

Have you seen my old geocities web site on the CS8 ? The MCC club saved bits of it
